Kids Photos from Yesterday 2


Click to enlarge-

A couple of photos from 1957 (top) showing some of the group from that time. Notice a fad that was popular then; Lanny has a watch chain and possibly Jim does, too. We wore them although some had a pocket watch and others kept their keys on the pocket end.

Wrist watches were getting cheap in those days and most people were getting them from Popeye's for under 20 dollars.

Can you recall the girls in the lower photo? The year is unknown. The faces are familiar still but names are beyond my recollection.
